Paralysis

I am going to keep a log of my Sleep Paralysis experiences, just for my own record, motivation and of course, for others to read This morning I woke up at 2.30 am, remembered 3 dreams and wanted to write them down.. ..but my DJ was left on my computer desk and I did not feel like getting up. I also totally forgot I can blog from my phone XD Hey, it was 2.30 am So I just lay there, contemplating on the dreams in an attempt to remember them in the morning (which worked, by the way!). Then I felt myself get heavy and thought I would attempt a WILD. I kept thinking of my favourite subject to be thinking about before bed: Dominiq (recurring DC, I have kind of fallen in love with him). I used him as my anchor of consciousness. Then I felt the familiar numbness and started to hear things (HH), but thought "NO, I do not want to hear shiz!" so I moved my elbow slightly. Then it kind of felt like my hand was upside down, but my arm was not like my wrist was twisted. It did not hurt though. I could still move my arm and hand and they felt fine. Then the feeling returned and I just let it be, occasionally trying to move a limb until I could not anymore. I was in SP. I did not hear anything but noise (which I was fine with), and a total of three vibration waves washed over me. Then when none seemed to come anymore, I tried getting up. I felt really strange like my body did not bend as it normally would when you sit up from lying-down position. I also had trouble opening my eyes fully, but it did not matter. I noticed it was pitch black in my room, whereas it should be dimly lit by street lights.. I did not even bother doing a reality check, lol.
